      I have five years of teaching experience, I can teach in Chinese and English, I am patient with students, I hope to become a good teacher with ideals and love. I hope every student can make progress through my efforts In the future teaching, I will teach with love, patience and care.

      The class focuses on fun to attract students' attention, and is good at mobilizing students' independent thinking ability. With years of accumulated teaching experience, I prefer heuristic teaching to guide students to think about the essence through phenomena and form their own learning logic.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Chinese in Pleasanton, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 principal opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Pleasanton, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your 2nd possibility can be local commercial language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Pleasanton, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Pleasanton, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable to learn Chinese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Chinese tutors?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Chinese course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of about 50 course hours each semester. Language schools and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Chinese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and specialization. Real student rating average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Chinese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research each program in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese not easy and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Chinese?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Chinese tutor?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Chinese tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
